Spring Break 2013

Spring Break! Music to my ears... Our plan was to school throughout spring break. But alas, no we did not. This has been a year of transitions for us and I think we all needed (another) break. Next year will be better. says the mom who says that every year

I digress...This week we slept late. Very late. We ate. We played. We shopped. We visited friends. We visited Meme and Nanny. We went to the movies. We went to Chuck E Cheese. The kids rode 4-wheelers. Andrew played air soft. We watched TV. We may have cleaned house. Once. We went to the park. We had a girls night. We laughed. We bickered. We slept some more and ate some more. Overall, we relaxed. Ahhh... It's been needed. Life is bizarre at times after you adopt. It's hard to find your new normal. And while we are searching, I'm not going to go crazy nuts about school. Because my friend Amy Hood gave me permission not to.  

Here are a few pics of our crazy life

 Abi and I went to see "Honk Jr." So, so good.

 Abi with her friend Katelyne F., the cutest little duckling ever.

Abi and Katie L. Katie is moving. Thinking about Katie moving makes us sad but we are praying for her and her family!

Chuck E Cheese with Laura and her littles. So much fun! 

I love seeing my older kids have fun where a kid can be a kid, yet still help the little ones. 

 

Girls Night at The Bridge. 

Love these girls and their moms. Such a blessing to us! Abi and I love our friends

A cake from Memaw Pat 

 The kids declared it "the best ever!" I love seeing all their names on there!

A Fun afternoon in Tyler

 Dinner at Daniel Boone's. Incredible. $30 for all of us, which included an awesome dinner, drinks, (that's a treat for us!) and Blue Bell ice cream. The kids want to go once a month. We shall see. That's my version of  probably not

 Seeing the animals and visiting the old general store at the Brookshire's Museum, followed by a visit to Fresh. 

I am off to do...something. I am sure that I could clean some more. But why ruin the end of such a great week? Tomorrow is church, a celebration of the day that Christopher decided to make his debut, and then "Once Upon A Time." Best. Show. Ever. besides Lost  Maybe I will see why my dog is having bad dreams. Or maybe I will look up more vacations to take our poor little orphan boy on who's apparently done more than us (wha?!) or maybe I will lie in bed and read while watching a Netflix movie also. Oh yeah, new idea, Netbox!! Yep! Don't steal it!

Night friends!
